If you just wanted to powder coat them, CPC Powder Coating in Crest Hill ALWAYS runs a special of $50 per wheel. I believe you will have to remove you tires first.

I believe Keystone which either merged or was bought out by LKQ used to sell remanufactured wheels to body shops?

I'm too tired to remember but there was some place toward Elk Grove Village that repaired bent wheels and would also refinish including diamond truing of originally finished that way. Just Google it or check youtube, they had a bunch of videos.

I recently replaced my stock head unit with the Blaupunkt SA 640. https://www.crutchfield.com/p_123SAN....html?tp=20212

For the money, it's a great value for navigation. My only complaint is that the bluetooth doesn't display song title and artist info on screen when playing. If it did, I would rate it a 4.5/5, instead it's a solid 4/5. It isn't a $1,000 Alpine, but it was never destined to be, it just has to work well, and it does. Check out my thread in here for photos and more info if you're interested.

*Is it the coolest? If you're a classic German car fan or prefer an OEM-ish look, then most likely. Otherwise, probably not.

Wheels are fairy heavy and they cost a considerable amount to ship to a refurbisher. We curbed a wheel on our VW and the Dealer directed us to a local company that runs a scheduled route to various Dealerships of all makes and their service was excellent.

You may want to stop by your Honda Dealer and ask.
